Dick's Agenda

I read an article today about human consumption and the environmental degredation we are exacting on our beautiful Earth. The article sited a recent report that stated how humans are now using 50% more resouces than our Earth can replenish. Also it stated how ultimately its the rich countries that are the ones perpetuating this huge problem. The wealthy nations are providing the demand and are searching for the supply in poorer countries thus disposing the environmental burden onto the vulnerable. These economically unfortunate nations have become the dumping ground for the rich. Politicians and entreprenuers use these factors to their advantage because they make more profit. First world countries create the waste and the waste ends right back in the places that provided them with the resources to make the trash in the first place. US, Holland, Neatherlands, Canada, Australia and several other first world countires have become living trash mongrels:


not quite....




These rich nations have become a trash army! But I have strayed from my point. New stories such as  this one have made me start to piece more things together.

In the last several weeks I have been hearing a lot about various political developments that have been rubbing me the wrong way. One thing I heard was about was that up until April this year it was completley legal for politicians or government workers to use non public information to base their stock market purchases on. Essentially we call this "insider trading" which Martha Stewart got slambed for a few years ago


However for Government employees its called a pension plan. They would go as far as to pass certain bills that would effect certain stocks that they had invested or had planned to invest in.  Congress just passed The Stock Market Act in April that makes it illegal to do these practices but it only passed because politiicans took out the policing portion of the bill which was that politicians involved in "political intellegence" had to register themselves.Without this one provision there is no way to really catch naughty government employees in action....they will simply deny all charges...

Also Govenor Jerry Brown and several California government officials just approved a budget plan. Which included shaving down quite a bit from public child care programs by cutting or combining certain programs. Now analysist have pointed out the transparency behind this decision. They suggest that Californian politicians passed the shaved budget in Child care Services because it was a political move. These anaylists believe that at the end of the year they will use these budget trimming as an excuse to tax middle Americans more....and the rich less  (most likely)

These stories as well as countless more I have heard over the past week alone have made me distrust our politicans and goverment workers even more than I already did. They dont do their job to help us. They arent out to help the world or feed the hungry...they are simply out their to make a buck regardless who they have to kill or better yet WHAT they have to kill to get there. What is one planet's health and survival? What is one hungary kid or a thousand? What is one more middle american loosing their home because of rising taxes and and an inflated morgage? What is one more illegally traded stock? If I am rich then everyone will be rich in a way...right?

Its all motivated by money and power.Things have never been nor will ever be done because they should be or they might be done because it is a political strategy to gain more votes, power, money...I am sorry for the homosexual community, the immigrant community, the poor community the female community the latin community the black community....because all of the rights we have received (big or small) has not been done because we all have deserved our freedom and right to be present and integrarted equally in society. NO! It has all been done to further some jackasses career or pay for his extramarital affairs with little boys or high class hookers.... How can we ever trust any politican voicing the words of Hope or change when the only hope and change I see is to further some rich dicks agenda?
